註釋William Shakespeare's absolute pre-eminence in contemporary Western culture and society is simply unparalleled. His plays pack theatres and provide Hollywood blockbusters with scripts, and his works are considered fundmental to the teaching of English literature, inspiring millions of pages of scholarship and critism every year around the globe. He has given us many of the very words we speak, and even the thoughts we think. But how did this happen? Who decided that Shakespeare deserved such fervent adoration? Can an Elizabethan playwright really be so relevant today, or are there other forces at work? This book answers these questions.
